Hey God, I Need To Talk

I often forget the importance of talking to Him multiple times a day. I'm ashamed to admit, I often forget to talk to Him at all in a day. I vent to my family, friends, and boyfriend on a weekly (alright daily) basis about my problems, my worries, and my triumphs but there are few things that I turn to God for FIRST. I seem to still be stuck in the human mindset that I must have control over my life and the situations that I'm placed in. Guess what? None of us have that kind of control. Its about time I start to make my daily talks with God a routine that will turn into a natural relationship that is overflowing with conversation throughout my day. I was reminded this past Saturday of a very convenient time that can be devoted to the Lord on a daily basis. 

In the car.

I don't know about you, but I'm in my car AT LEAST twice a day. So on Saturday, after spending a lovely afternoon with a dear friend and her bible study group, I talked to God during my drive home. My Mom would probably bop me over the head for not remembering that she often uses her driving time for "God time" as well. I just never tried it myself unless it was to say "God, PLEASE make this Grandma take a left so we can get a move on!" It felt nice to be able to talk OUT LOUD to my creator without feeling vulnerable. I think even when I say my prayers at night in bed, someone might hear me. Someone will hear what is meant for God and me. I feel so relieved when I can completely let myself go and say whatever I need to to God while driving. 

I hope this might encourage you to try it too. Whether you pray about it or talk about it, know who's in control of "it" and know He wants nothing but the best for you, His child. 

side note -- make sure to pay attention to the pavement. the closing of eyes in prayer could result in an accident. ;)
